.SH NAME
List of WordNet lexicographer file names and numbers
.SH DESCRIPTION
During WordNet development synsets are organized into forty-five
lexicographer files based on syntactic category and logical groupings.
.BR grind (1WN)
processes these files and produces a database suitable for use with
the WordNet library, interface code, and other applications.  The
format of the lexicographer files is described in
.BR wninput (5WN).

A file number corresponds to each lexicographer file.  File numbers
are encoded in several parts of the WordNet system as an efficient way
to indicate a lexicographer file name.  The file \fBlexnames\fP lists
the mapping between file names and numbers, and can be used by
programs or end users to correlate the two.
.SS File Format
Each line in \fBlexnames\fP contains 3 tab separated fields, and is
terminated with a newline character.  The first field is the two digit
decimal integer file number.  (The first file in the list is numbered
\fB00\fP.)  The second field is the name of the lexicographer file that
is represented by that number, and the third field is an integer that
indicates the syntactic category of the synsets contained in the file.
This is simply a shortcut for programs and scripts, since the
syntactic category is also part of the lexicographer file's name.
.SS Syntactic Category
The syntactic category field is encoded as follows:

.RS
.nf
\fB1\fP	NOUN
\fB2\fP	VERB
\fB3\fP	ADJECTIVE
\fB4\fP	ADVERB
.fi
